This system traps and reroutes fuel vapor to the engine, reducing harmful emissions and improving fuel efficiency. What’s the purge valve’s function in the emissions system? The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) opens and closes the canister purge valve to control the vapor flow. What Causes the Purge Valve to Break?

It prevents fuel vapor from escaping into the atmosphere via the fuel tank or fuel system and directs it to the engine to burn off. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) regularly runs a leak test within the EVAP system using the fuel tank pressure sensor. A smoke test uses a smoke machine to find hard-to-detect fuel vapor leaks.

Type of EGR valve : There are two types of EGR valves — electronic and mechanical. Electronic valves are usually more expensive to replace because they have more complex components and electronic controls. Repair complexity: In some cars, replacing an EGR valve takes less than an hour, but in others, it might be harder to reach.

This imbalance hinders the engine’s ability to achieve proper combustion, making it challenging to start the car. Failed Emissions Test Incomplete combustion can result in higher levels of unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide in the exhaust. These increased pollutants can lead to a failed emissions test.
